In this work, superficial to the extreme, it is my purpose to offer a review of the development of lyric poetry ("poesía lírica") in Colombia throughout its history. It is logical that because of the extent of the subject it is not possible to give a complete treatment of our political history, though I have tried not to leave out points of significance. The classification of authors and of poems, as well as the division of periods I have made arbitrarily, guided by my own criteria. Thus, I have the Romantic period divided into romanticism and post-romanticism, according to the dates generally regarded as the beginning and end of these two literary movements. In reality, romanticism only ended with the beginning of modernism, and one cannot therefore distinguish romantic poets from post-romantic poets. Due to the nature of this thesis, many poets--some of them well known--will not be mentioned. However, my intention is not to write a lyric anthology, but to reveal the spirit of Columbia through her poets and her poetry.

Cette étude est une recherche sur les relations complexes entre la poésie et l’érotisme au sein de la poésie colombienne, et elle suit un itinéraire qui va de la poésie de José Asunción Silva, à la fin du XIXe siècle, à celle du groupe Mito, dans les années 50. Cet exercice d’investigation et d’analyse démontre qu’on peut observer une tradition de l’érotisme dans la poésie colombienne, au sein de laquelle l’érotisme comme sujet sensible a pénétré la poésie de plusieurs groupes –modernistes, piedracielistes et Mito– et de quelques-uns des auteurs les plus importants, parmi lesquels: Silva, Porfirio Barba Jacob, Luis Carlos López et León de Greiff. / This study examines the complex relationships between poetry and eroticism that have emerged in the Colombian poetry throughout a historical journey that goes from José Asunción Silva’s poetry (late nineteenth century) to the poetry of the group Mito, during the decade of 50s in the twentieth century. This research and analytical work shows that a tradition of the erotic in the Colombian poetry can be observed, in which eroticism, as a sensitive subject, has permeated the poetics of various groups –modernists, Piedracielistas, and Mito– as well as some of the most important Colombian authors such as Silva, Porfirio Barba Jacob, Luis Carlos López, and León de Greiff. / Este estudio se pregunta por las complejas relaciones entre poesía y erotismo que se han dado en la poesía colombiana, en un recorrido histórico que va desde la poesía de José Asunción Silva, finales del siglo XIX, hasta la poesía del grupo Mito en la década del 50 del siglo XX. Este ejercicio investigativo y analítico demuestra que se puede observar una tradición de lo erótico en la poesía colombiana en la que el erotismo, como asunto sensible, ha permeado la poética de varios grupos –modernistas, piedracielistas y Mito– y de algunos de los más importantes autores, entre los cuales: Silva, Porfirio Barba Jacob, Luis Carlos López y León de Greiff.

Dans ma thèse “León de Greiff y la tradición literaria” je fais une étude du concept de « Tradition » dans l’œuvre poétique de l’un des plus importants écrivains colombiens du XXème siècle. Je propose que l’appropriation greiffienne de différents éléments provenant de diverses sources littéraires – comprenant la littérature orientale, la poésie médiévale européenne, la poésie française symboliste –, défie la notion classique du concept de «tradition». Pour De Greiff, celle-ci constitue un espace individuel d’autocréation construit à partir d’affinités esthétiques et philosophiques, et non sur la base d’une continuité chronologique ou une appartenance géographique. L’approche théorique de notre étude se concentre sur les idées de Harold Bloom, T.S. Eliot et Octavio Paz. Sur la base de leurs théories j’ai essayé d’élaborer une définition alternative du concept de la Tradition. -- “León de Greiff y la tradición literaria” examines the particular concept of “tradition” underlying the work of this major XXth century Colombian poet. I contend that the appropriation of several literary and historical sources – ranging from medieval European literature, oriental sources, to the most symbolists French poets – undertaken by De Greiff challenges the classical notion of this idea. I have proposed a reading of this author’s poetry as an attempt to observe tradition as an unrestricted space of individual creation operating through aesthetic and philosophical affinities rather than strict chronological continuity. The theorical approach of my dissertation focuses on the works of Harold Bloom, T.S. Eliot and Octavio Paz. Based on their ideas I have tried to elaborate an alternative definition of the concept of Tradition.

O trabalho se concentra em quatro eixos principais, a saber: diáspora, migração, território e o lar, em diálogo com os temas do amor, da afetividade, da territorialização/desterritorialização nos centros urbanos, e da casa, perpassando as discussões de gênero e raciais na divisão dos espaços geográficos e sociais. Discutimos como este corpo e subjetividade feminina negra homossexual se reconfigura para a construção subjetiva de seu lar, considerando-se a experiência da desterritorialização e da migração, e o poema como a força reterritorializadora que alça as noções de pertencimento e conexão à sua própria criação poética como principal catalizadora de suas vivências. Percorremos toda sua obra em certa cronologia temática, iniciada com Continente Mohíno (1996) até El rostro del pan (2014), cujo principal objetivo é compreender a relação estabelecida entre sua escrita poética e o imaginário da diáspora contemporânea e fluxos migratórios, no que diz respeito aos territórios e a construção subjetiva do lar. A versatilidade e criatividade de sua poesia é flagrante por seu próprio curso de vida de movimento e desarraigo, que confluem para uma literatura capaz de abrigar suas vivências para além dos reducionismos históricos e sociais do lugar da mulher negra homossexual na literatura e na sociedade. / This dissertation approaches the poetic work of Colombian poet Marta Quiñónez, who currently lives in Medelin, which has been published to date, consisting of the following volumes: Noctívago (1998), Acantilado (1999), Abecedário de Eximición (2000), Eva (2001), Kartalá (2002), La Trinidad (2005), Arcanos (2007), No. Libro de haripalas (2010), Dame tu canto ciudad (2012), Conversaciones en Comala (2012), Paréntesis (2013), El rostro del pan (2014) and Continente Mohíno (2016), originally published in 1996. The work focuses on four main axes: diaspora, migration, territory and home, in dialogue with the themes of love, affectivity, territorialization/deterritorialization in urban centers, and the house, bypassing gender and racial discussions in the division of geographic and social spaces. We discuss how this homosexual black female body and subjectivity reconfigures itself for the subjective construction of its home, considering the experience of deterritorialization and migration, taking the poem as the reterritorializing force that elevates the notions of belonging and connection to its own poetic creation as main catalyst of her experiences. We go through all her work in a certain thematic chronology, beginning with Continente Mohíno (1996) until El rostro del pan (2014), whose main objective is to understand the relation established between her poetic writing and the contemporary diaspora imaginary and migratory flows, concerning territories and the subjective construction of home. The versatility and creativity of her poetry is blatant for her own life course of movement and uprooting, which converge to a literature capable of sheltering her experiences beyond the historical and social reductions of the homosexual black woman's place in literature and society.
